yolo

I don't know what you're talking about

TLDR

Create a copy of the default configuration in your current working directory

$ yolo task=init
copy

Train the object detection, instance segment, or classification model with the specified configuration file
$ yolo task=[detect|segment|classify] mode=train cfg=[path/to/config.yaml]
copy

SYNOPSIS

yolo [OPTIONS]

PARAMETERS

-i , --input
    Specifies the input file or data stream for immediate processing, without maintaining state.

-o , --output
    Defines the output format (e.g., 'terse', 'json') for concise and immediate results.

-s, --speed-optimized
    Prioritizes execution speed, potentially at the cost of granular detail or exhaustive analysis in its single pass.

-q, --quiet
    Suppresses informational messages, showing only critical output or final results from the one-shot operation.

-c , --count
    Limits the output to a specified number of primary findings or items for a quick overview.

-d, --dry-run
    Simulates the command's execution without making actual changes, showing potential outcomes or detections in a single pass.

DESCRIPTION

The yolo command, while not a standard utility found in most Linux distributions, is conceived as a tool embodying the principle of 'You Only Look Once'—a philosophy borrowed from efficient real-time processing. It represents a conceptual approach to command-line operations where the primary goal is rapid, single-pass execution. Unlike traditional commands that might offer extensive configuration, interactive modes, or persistent state management, yolo is designed for immediate, 'fire-and-forget' tasks.

It's ideal for quick diagnostics, ephemeral data transformations, or swift system checks where a deep, iterative analysis is not required or even detrimental to performance. Its hypothetical implementation would prioritize speed and conciseness, providing relevant output from a single, optimized scan or action. This makes yolo suitable for scenarios requiring instantaneous feedback or for prototyping where setup time must be minimized. Users should recognize its non-standard status and understand that any actual yolo command would be a custom implementation tailored for specific use cases, focusing on delivering results with minimal overhead and without maintaining complex internal states.

CAVEATS

yolo is not a standard Linux command and therefore its availability and functionality are entirely dependent on custom implementations. Users should be aware that, if implemented to reflect its 'you only live once' or 'look once' moniker, operations might be designed for ephemeral use, potentially leading to unrecoverable state changes or data loss if not used carelessly. Its single-pass nature means it might lack the depth, interactive features, or persistence of more traditional utilities. Always verify the specific implementation and its implications before use.

NON-STANDARD NATURE

It is critical to reiterate that yolo is not a pre-installed or standard command. Any existing yolo utility would be a custom script or a component of a specialized application, requiring explicit installation or development, and its behavior would be defined by that specific implementation.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

The core principle behind yolo is speed and immediacy. It's intended for scenarios where a quick, decisive action or observation is needed, without the overhead of extensive setup, complex configurations, or the expectation of persistent state management. It provides a 'snapshot' view or a rapid transformation.

HISTORY

The conceptual yolo command draws its name and spirit from the popular 'You Only Look Once' (YOLO) family of object detection algorithms in machine learning, known for their remarkable speed and efficiency in real-time analysis.

While not a standard utility bundled with most Linux distributions, the idea of a 'yolo' command emerged from the need for swift, single-pass operations in various computing contexts—from rapid script execution and ephemeral data processing to 'fire-and-forget' system tasks. Its design philosophy emphasizes immediate results and minimal overhead, echoing the 'one-shot' nature of its namesake. Implementations would typically be custom scripts or specialized tools designed for specific, time-sensitive applications.
